Balancing on the edge

Balancing on the edge
"You're crazy! Suicide! Crazy! "- Say some. "The Wizard! Talent! Fearless "- others will say. A 30-year-old Norwegian Eskila Ronningsbakkena may shock, delight, appall and command respect. The best stuntmen and daredevils of the world nervously smoking in aside, watching this crazy teetering on the edge of towering cliffs.
 Beautiful natural views and showing extreme balance on the same time.


30-year Eskil Ronningsbakken teetering on the edge of a cliff on a unicycle at an altitude of 1400 meters.


Eskil is on hand at the viewing platform above the stairs of trolls in Norway. 


And in this photo he is only preparing to do a handstand.


Eskil balances on a few chairs on the cliff at an altitude of 1000 meters above the abyss in Keragbolt, Rogaland, Norway. 


Eskil ready to stand on their chairs.


 Eskil also teaches others to do the figures in dangerous areas. In this photo, it shows a figure with one of his pupils, 25-year-old Moses Vepukhuli from Kenya. This is the first time Moses at that height. Eskil coached him in January 2009. 


Eskil now travels with ten men, removing their incredible feats. His team visited some of the favorite playgrounds Eskila, such as a mountain troll ladder (at the first photo).

Eskil teetering on the edge of a cliff in Norway, while his partner admonishes him a toy gun. This photo was taken in the advertising campaign in support of the members of the Norwegian police, who constantly risk their own lives.

April 2009: Eskil a steel hoop at the edge of the 1,000-meter cliff in Stavanger. 

Eskil pushes bike on a tightrope above the fjord Lyuseford in Stavanger. The strong wind nearly ruined the whole picture, when a strong gust from the bottom nearly turned stuntman.

Shockingly Creepy Pieces of Jewelry

 Rings Made From Bones

The perfect jewelry for any stalker. These rings are made from bones grown in a lab and then carved into a fashion accessory. You can send in one of your bones or a tooth to send to your stalkee or snip off one of his/her toes and get some jewelry made for yourself. On the downside, the website selling these rings is now a spam site, so to get one made you'll act
 Gothic Bird Head Pendant


Edgar Allan Poe fans are sure to love this piece. Quote the raven, “Get this ball out of my mouth.”

Squirrel Feet Earrings and Necklaces

Just look at the stunning gold word that accentuates the dead bugger's feet. While many sellers of taxidermied jewelry assure their clients that no animals were harmed in the making of their jewelry, this creator happily brags about the local hunting holiday, “Squirrel Day.”

Sea Horse Earrings

As if having dead sea horses dangling from your ears wasn't attention-getting enough, the artists making these beauties decided to add rhinestones to their eye sockets

Snake Fetus In A Vial Pendant
These days everyone claims to love fetuses, but how many people are willing to show their obsession so clearly?

Mandible Pendant

The artist makes no indication as to what type of animal this jawbone came from, but when it's simultaneously this creepy and beautiful, maybe it's better we don't know.


Golden Jaw Bone Earrings


Everyone knows you're a man eater, so why not emphasize this point with a lovely set of gold gilt mandible earrings?

Skull and Feathers Hair Piece

What's better than a mink skull hair piece? One adorned with peacock feathers and 24 karat gold gilt teeth, of course!

Human Teeth Rings

Artist Polly van der Glas makes wonderful pieces out of human teeth and hair. Apparently, teeth are hard to come by so she's always happy to accept donations.

Bird Head And Tail Feathers Necklace


This necklace is particularly nice because it combines the best taxidermied parts of an entire bird –the head and the tail feathers. Why mess with the middle when both ends fit together so nicely
